That is all fine. The point is that the notion of active paths in the
network may represent those in default topology over any path. That can be
computed by PCE.

So default topology may have N active paths while
application specific topologies M where M is a subset of N meeting required
end to end constraints.

Sure it is possible to discover if my tailends are capable of handling in
band telemetry by off line means. But what I am struggling to see why we
allowed so much TE stuff into IGPs and we do not want to make it easier for
headends to operate without PCE at all for the purpose of delivering
such type of services.

Kind regards,
R.
